Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

​This was such a beautiful, wholesome and emotional story about finding your path in life. Tanner and Sebastian, you have my heart. Thank you to everyone who urged me to read this amazing book, I just wish I’d followed your advice sooner!

Autoboyography follows the bisexual teen Tanner, who finds himself back into the closet when moving with his family from California to Utah and its influential Mormon community. All Tanner wants is to graduate and clear out of Utah, but then his best friend Auddy nudges him into taking a prestigious book-writing seminar. But one of the mentors at the seminar is the Mormon prodigy Sebastian Brother, and the second Tanner notices him, he knows he’s in trouble. But more so, when the feelings seem to be reciprocated, their relationship will cause even more trouble for Sebastian.

I absolutely loved following Tanner and Sebastian on their heartfelt journey on finding each other and finding out about each other, finding the courage to take a chance on love even though the consequences and finding out how or if it would be possible to be a part of the Mormon community for Sebastian while being true to himself.

Sebastian was just such a loveable and amazing character that completely stole my heart. I also rooted for Tanner, but there were times when he came across as a bit selfish and I had some issues with the way he treated his best friend Auddy. There were especially two situations that didn’t sit well with me (I don’t want to give any spoilers away so I’m not going into detail about them). The story also dragged a bit in the middle. So for this, I will give it 4.5 stars and not 5, even though I loved everything else about it and will never be able to forget Sebastian and Tanner and their life-changing love story.

Rating:
4.5 stars rounding up to 5
